ത
U+0D24 "ത" Malayalam Letter Ta is a consonant in the Malayalam script, a Brahmic abugida used for writing the Malayalam language primarily in the Indian state of Kerala. This character represents the unaspirated voiceless dental plosive sound /t̪/, similar to the 't' in the English word "stop" but articulated with the tongue touching the back of the upper teeth. In the Malayalam writing system, "ത" is the first character of the third row in the consonant chart and appears as a fundamental component in many words, where its form can change when combined with vowel signs or other consonants to create conjunct characters.
